    Baking is just chemistry. The recipes are formulas. If you measure by weight and can follow simple instructions, you can bake.

      The degree to which baking is pure chemistry entirely depends on what you are making. Bread does not care for the laws of chemistry to the degree cakes do.

        And the yeast can sense fear.

        Luckily, it can also sense anger which is why I remember every failure before I approach the dough.
